Bring Your Daughter To The Slaughter

An Iranian man, prepares his daughter, who is a member of a suicide commandos unit, by covering her face in the same style of Palestinian and Lebanese militants, during a ceremony where the first suicide commandos unit was inaugurated at the Behesht-e-Zahra cemetery just outside Tehran, Iran, Thursday, Dec. 2, 2004.

I am literally speechless at this most recent example of the psychopathology that is fostered by the religion of Islam. I simply cannot convey to you the depths of my revulsion. I have written elsewhere about some of the parental and cultural issues involved in this sort of sick behavior, but for now I'll just let Iron Maiden speak for me:

Iron Maiden - Bring Your Daughter... ...To The Slaughter

honey its getting close to midnight
and all the myths are in town
true love and lipstick on your linen
bite the pillow make no sound
if there's some living to be done
before your life becomes your tomb
you'd better know that i'm the one
so unchain your back door invite me around

honey its getting close to daybreak
the sun is creeping in the sky
no patent remedies for heartache
just empty words and humble pie

so get down on your knees honey
assume an attitude
you just pray that i'll be waiting
cos you know i'm coming soon

so pick up your foolish pride,
no going backno where, no way, no place to hide

bring your daughter, bring your daughter to the slaughter
let her go, let her go, let her go
